This program is run by the Community Assistance Program office (C.A.P.). Next weekend Ed Kurtenbach will have the Giving Tree set up in the vestibule of the church. The tree will be decorated with paper angels and children s Christmas tags. The angels represent the Adopt-A-Family Program here in Ojai and the tags are for the children from the Augustinian Orphanage in Tijuana. If you choose to adopt a family, you will be asked to purchase a gift for each child in the family ($20 minimum-$40 maximum) and provide a box of non-perishable food items for their holiday dinner. The C.A.P. office, with the support of the Rotary Clubs in the Ojai Valley and the Ojai Presbyterian Church, provides a gift certificate to the family to help them purchase a ham or turkey. Wish lists that include age of each child, clothing size, favorite color, and gift suggestion will also be available. The tags for the children in the orphanage will have the child s name, age, and clothing sizes on them. Please be sure to sign the roster and pick up an information sheet from Ed if you are adopting a family. The dinner boxes and gifts must be turned into HELP of Ojai s West Campus on Baldwin Road by 5:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 8th. The gifts for the children in Tijuana are due by Monday, December 10th please drop them off in the parish office. Special thanks to everyone who will be participating in giving the gift of Christmas. We are most grateful to Susan Hennigan and her family for making all of the angels for the tree. We also thank Ed Kurtenbhach for his dedication to the Giving Tree.

El árbol estará decorado con ángeles de papel y etiquetas infantiles de Navidad.

Si decide adoptar a una familia, se le pedirá que compre un regalo para cada niño en la familia ($20 mínimo-$40 máximo) y proporcionar una caja de alimentos no perecederos para su cena navideña.

YOUCAT Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church Cardinal Schönborn said: "The ability to give answers to questions regarding one s own faith has become much more urgent now than in my generation. In the Catechism, which is simply an attempt to present the Catholic Faith, there may be much that people will have difficulty to accept. Some things will seem foreign or contradictory to the way we think today. But I think that one of the most important tasks of such a book and the work related to it is learning to deal with challenging topics." Faith needs community. The YOUCAT was developed through a joint effort & it should also promote & encourage community. If a community wants to be more than a social gathering, if it wants to be a community of faith, then it needs a common basis. Read & study YOUCAT together! Study groups also exist on Facebook! Get involved! YOU- CAT fits well into youth groups, summer camps & confirmation classes! YOUCAT is ideal for religion classes & Sunday schools! So, Check It Out is the official YOUCAT website, on which young Catholics from all over the world come together & exchange creatively on their faith. Know. Share. Meet. Express.

ENSURE A SAFE ROAD TRIP THIS HOLIDAY Taking the kids on a road trip to visit relatives and friends is a holiday tradition for many of us. Here are two tips that can help you get there and back as safely as possible: 1 Ensure that all occupants of any vehicles are properly secured and that there are no large or heavy items in the vehicle that may injure the occupants at any sudden stops. 2. A single parent travelling with children should ensure that permission from other parent is readily available for authorities (this is to prevent one parent abductions). This is especially important for air/train or cross border travel. For particular help, you may call Assistance Ministry at (213) GARANTICE UN VIAJE SEGURO ESTE DÍA DE FIESTA Llevar a los niños en un viaje para visitar a familiares y amigos es una tradición navideña para muchos de nosotros.
